Eternal Saber Chapter 35: If My Guess Is Correct

This yellow dog is certainly not naturally friendly, nor is it close to just anyone.

Chen Tang knew this.

He believed that the Chief Constable before him was also aware of this matter.

The Chief Constable’s words just now weren’t a joke.

The other party was already suspicious!

But this person did not reveal it outright, just laughed it off with a chuckle.

Chen Tang naturally wouldn’t admit it on his own, so he also smiled.

"Why did you have take her in?"

Chen Tang said, "You’ve seen the situation in my ho; it’s practically destitute, just barely enough to make ends et."

ng Liangyu laughed: "How much can a little girl eat anyway? It’s just an extra pair of chopsticks. She was originally a maid in soone else’s house, knows how to serve people, and when she’s with you, she can also help with chores, take care of that elder at your place."

Then, ng Liangyu turned to Zhiwei and said, "Are you quick at doing chores?"

Upon hearing this, Zhiwei quickly nodded and said, "I can do anything, washing clothes, cooking, I can do it all."

"That’s good."

The voice of the chubby old man ca, grumbling: "We’re short of soone to cook around here. These past few days, my mouth has almost lost its taste. Neither of you young ones can cook."

Chen Tang still didn’t relent, asking, "Since there’s been a murder, this girl should be pivotal to it, leaving her with doesn’t seem appropriate."

"The murder case is closed."

ng Liangyu waved his hand dismissively.

"Oh?"

Chen Tang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Didn’t it happen last night? It’s already closed?"

"Yes."

ng Liangyu said, "The case isn’t complicated. Soone from the Evil Wolf Gang sneaked into soone else’s ho to steal, got discovered, killed others, and ended up being killed back, dying together with the two owners."

Behind him, the constable Tie Zhu sighed in relief and looked at his companion with so pride.

I was right, wasn’t I? That’s exactly what happened.

Chen Tang pondered for a mont and said, "Since the case is closed, it’s fine to have the little girl stay at my ho."

"Alright, then there’s no problem, sorry for the disturbance."

ng Liangyu smiled, cupped his hands towards Chen Tang, then looked at the chubby old man and Qingmu, raising his voice, "Elder, take care of your health, at your age, don’t climb too high."

The chubby old man blushed.

Damn, is this young constable pointing at ?

If it were just any other ti, he wouldn’t even bother.

But now that he intended to take Chen Tang as his apprentice, he couldn’t lose face.

The chubby old man pondered whether he should teach this young constable a lesson, and at the sa ti, show off a little in front of Chen Tang.

Qingmu noticed the chubby old man’s thoughts, secretly chuckled, held his master’s arm, and shook his head with a smile.

ng Liangyu handed Zhiwei and the yellow dog to Chen Tang, then turned and left with several constables, not staying any longer.

Chen Tang watched them leave, frowning slightly, deep in thought.

He was now a bit unsure of this Chief Constable’s intentions.

He clearly saw through the problem.

Yet didn’t expose it and even handed Zhiwei over to him.

And stated clearly that the case was closed.

What was this person’s intention?

A delaying tactic?

Stabilize them first, then go back to the County Governnt Office to gather more people?

"Brother Atang, are you worried that Chief ng will cause trouble?" Zhiwei seed to have noticed Chen Tang’s concern and asked tentatively.

The chubby old man said proudly, "No problem, even if everyone from the County Governnt Office surrounds us, I can still take you out of Changze County!"

Originally, he acted low-key, remaining inconspicuous.

Since he wanted to take Chen Tang as a disciple, he had beco sowhat eager, seizing every opportunity to show off.

Chen Tang was still deep in thought, not paying attention to what the chubby old man said.

Zhiwei said, "I don’t think Chief ng is that kind of person."

"Chief ng?"

Chen Tang was stirred, suddenly asking, "Is the Chief Constable who stood against the Black Water Gang with over two months ago when I was severely injured, him?"

Yingxue had ntioned it to him once.

"Yes."

Zhiwei quickly nodded and said, "If it weren’t for that, I might have been captured."

"This person is rather interesting."

Chen Tang thought to himself, getting up to pursue him.

So things need to be clarified in person to feel at ease.

"Chief ng, please wait."

Chen Tang caught up, calling softly.

As if expecting this, ng Liangyu was not surprised, rely gesturing to Tie Zhu and the others to go ahead, staying behind to have a private conversation with Chen Tang.

Chen Tang said, "Chief ng, thank you for today’s matters."

"Not at all."

ng Liangyu waved it off, completely unconcerned.

Chen Tang asked, "Why did you decide to hand her to ?"

"I wouldn’t be at ease giving her to anyone else."

ng Liangyu smiled and said, "Following you, she might suffer a bit, but at least she wouldn’t suffer abuse. With your character, you certainly wouldn’t mistreat her."

After a pause, ng Liangyu continued, "Actually, I’ve been keeping an eye on her situation. That family abused her a lot, often not feeding her."

"But her status is a maid, and my status is a court constable. According to Qian Country’s law, even if she were beaten to death, I’d have no reason to intervene."

"Luckily, there is the Jianghu, there are so people with hot blood in the Jianghu."

There was no need to say more, both of them already understood each other tacitly.

"Thank you, Chief ng."

Chen Tang cupped his hands in thanks, following the Jianghu etiquette.

ng Liangyu also smiled, returning the salute.

He then moved closer, whispering mysteriously, "Brother Chen, if I’m not mistaken, the one who acted last night was your elder uncle, right?"

"Uh..."

Chen Tang was montarily speechless.

What should he say to that?

"Haha!"

ng Liangyu, seeing Chen Tang’s awkward expression, laughed heartily and said, "It’s actually not hard to deduce. Li Tao had a purple-blue Hand Seal on his wrist, indicating that the person’s cultivation was very high and the strength great."

"If we narrow it down to your house, we first exclude you; second, your cousin is a delicate beauty, and her cultivation doesn’t seem weak either, but the hand seal belongs to a man. So, the answer can only be one."

Chen Tang couldn’t help but ask, "Why was I the first to be excluded?"

"Sigh."

ng Liangyu patted Chen Tang on the shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Brother Chen, you’re lucky to be alive. Killing isn’t sothing you can do, especially since the one who died yesterday was a Protector of the Evil Wolf Gang!"

"He was stabbed to death in one strike. Even if it were , I might not have succeeded."

"Hmm... makes sense."

Chen Tang could only nod.

ng Liangyu continued, "If I’m not mistaken, the ones who died at the Cui Family’s place a month ago were also at the hands of your two relatives."

"Uh..."

Chen Tang fell silent once more.

This ti, they at least guessed half correctly.

ng Liangyu, feeling sowhat smug, said, "Your two relatives hid their skills well, but shortly after, I traced it to them. However, those people deserved to die, so I didn’t pursue it further."

"Brother Chen, your relatives’ thods are indeed remarkable, more than I can match. But once they act, they leave traces. Those clues might deceive others, but they can’t deceive ."

"If there’s a chance, introduce to them."

Actually, I’m not that familiar with them either.

Chen Tang thought to himself.

"If you need anything in the future, just co to the County Governnt Office to find ."

ng Liangyu said this, waving to bid farewell to Chen Tang.
